What Hacker News says

I watched your demo video and I don't see any advantages over using named branches, and you describe no specific advantages in your README. You just didn't give your branch a name, and referred to commits by ID. Fine, I guess, but are names so bad that you're gonna adopt a non-standard git workflow? `git undo` is cool. There have been a number of fun variations on it over the years, and yours seems fine, but it's usually a leaky abstraction. I expect that yours is, too, but that's just because git itself is a leaky abstraction; it's just really hard to build a strong foundation on sand. https://github.com/mapmeld/gitjk https://github.com/tj/git-extras/blob/master/man/git-undo.md https://github.com/janekr/git-undo
